Vintage Swiss Brass Jardiniere | Embossed Fruit Motif | Mid Century
This vintage Swiss brass jardinière has exactly the kind of balanced, elegant shape that works effortlessly on a dining table, console, or foyer. Made in Geneva and stamped Forestier et Cie Genève underneath alongside a Geneva control mark, it likely dates somewhere between the 1920s and 1940s.
The brass body is worked in repoussé (hammered relief work), with clusters of fruit and foliage standing across the oval planter. A softly scalloped rim runs the full length and inside the original green liner remains in place. It shows wear from decades of use.
The brass has mellowed beautifully over time into a warm golden tone with light oxidation throughout. Even the underside carries lovely detail, with radial sunburst tooling surrounding the maker’s mark.
Filled with hydrangeas, olive branches, or even little terracotta herb pots, this old Geneva cachepot brings an easy sense of warmth and occasion without feeling overly formal. The kind of centerpiece that quietly elevates a room the second it is set down.
